“I don't know if you realize this, but there are some researchers — doctors — who are giving this kind of drug to volunteers, to see what the effects are, and they're doing it the proper scientific way, in clean white hospital rooms, away from trees and flowers and the wind, and they're surprised at how many of the experiments turn sour. They've never taken any sort of psychedelic themselves, needless to say. Their volunteers — they're called 'subjects,' of course — are given mescaline or LSD and they're all opened up to their surroundings, very sensitive to color and light and other people's emotions, and what are they given to react to? Metal bed-frames and plaster walls, and an occasional white coat carrying a clipboard. Sterility.”

“So far, every claim by one evolutionist that a dinosaur fossil represents a transition between kinds has been counterbalanced by another evolutionist on the grounds of its well-formed anatomy. This ongoing disagreement stems from the fact that each dinosaur fossil appears to be from a fully formed creature with every part in place. So we see that expert dinosaur design is a problem for evolutionary explanations. Evolutionists must invent extra substories to explain why there are no undisputed in-between dinosaur forms and why there are no good examples of evolution's design "blunders" among dinosaur fossils.
